GMBINBD GOTTONPPLOUGH AND SGRAPBR.

TOALL WHOM IIT MAY CONCERN:

lBe it known that I, Tf1?. WARREN, of the city and county'of Norfolk, and State of Virginia, hnyeinvcnted a new and useful Combined Cotton-Plough, Iron Titi-neiYleugh and Scraper; and-Ido hereby declare the fol-V lowing to -be a full, clear, and exact description ofithe same, referencebeiug had to the accompanying drawings,

forming part ofthis specification, and in which- Figure 1 represents n Vperspective view of my invention, the dirtcrs d d being in positionaud the mouldboard F being rem-oued in order to show the construction of the standard B,

Figure 2 shows'a. bottom view of the land-side und standard attached, other parts being removed. Figure 3 shows the scraper-board, Figure-4 thereversible hoard, and .Figure 5, the attachment for fasteningthe point and mould-board. lFigure 6 is` the' scraper-guide. l Similar letters of rct'ercncelindicate corresponding parts in the seyeral lrigures.

The object of my invention. is the construction of an instrument which, with slight and easily made changes, hereafter explained, canbe used as a cotton-plough, an iron turner plough, or a` scraper, at the pleasure of the operator. j I

is vthe land-side"l or dirt-beam of the instrument, having n projection, a, -at itsposterior end, for the purpose ofnttuching the hmxil'leA by which to guide the plough, and being rmly' attached tothe upright standard lB at its anterion end. fAtiZ-tlnre shown the dii-ters, which are fixed to the land-side by screwbolts,.or their equivalent, and may be'removed 'when necessary. C is an attachment which is fastened to the standard B by screws or bolts passing throughvits;A flange, e, and serves as .a support to the mould-point and mould-board Its .shape is shown in lig. 2. KThe standard B has an arm, z, at its upper extremity, by which it maybe fastened to the draw-beam ot' the plough, and it has n wide fiange, rc, at the bottom to hold' the mould-board and scraper-boards. D is the mould-point of the plough, attached to the' standarl BV by bolts er screws e e. F is the mould-board,

' attached to the standard B in the same manner. G is the scraper-board, having holes, g g, bymeans of which it may' be attached to 'the standard B. H is'a reversible scraper-boardgattachuble to' the standard B in thesume manner by bolts'through the holeshh. Ch-O are slots in thejs'tunda'rd B, through which pass the bolts that hold Athe 'scraper when they are Aused,or the.A supporting attachment() when the instrument is use d as a @plough K (figu 6) is the scraper-guide attac-hedywhen the instrument is used as a scraper, to the land-side by means of the u rin 7c, one end of which is screwed to the land-sident the point d where the rear dirter is attachedA when it is used, and theother end oi' which passes through the hole l in the guide. The holes m m m in thc opposite end of the guide are for the purpose of attaching the guide by a bolt and nut tothe projection a, and of regulating the depth to which the guide will'sink in the ground. When thus attached the guide is a blade extending below the bottom ofthe lundside and parallel to it, so as to cut vertically into the ground beneath the instrument, and thus prevent thcsrcraper from sliding or yeldinglaterally, which a scraper is` always inclined to do.' An instrument thus constructed is ready for use as a corn or cotton-plough when the-Scrapers are detachedand the remainin-gparts adjusted as shown in fig. '1, the mould-board of course being in its place. By

removing themould-board F and theI d irters dfd, and attaching the reversible scraper-board H, the instrument becomes an iron turner plough.` By removing the reversible board H, the supporting attachment C, the dirters d and d', and the point D, and attaching the scraper-board G to the standard B., thc instrument may be used :is a scraper. When the scraper-board is httached, the brace u should be fixed, one end to the land-side at d and the other, the bent-end, to the scraper-board atto, by means of a bolt and nut, in order Vto steady the scraperboard. The scraper-guide is now` attached,l as before described. When thc guide is not use'd, the bolt by which its reahend is attached to the projection a may he withdrawn und the guide reversed, so as to rest on the laudeide and beentirely out ofthe way. This guide may be used 'with the iron turner plough, if necessary. It is :over necessary to use it with the other plough, the ldirters acting'toall intents land purposes as guides. One

set of bolts and screws-answers for all'the different modifications n4' mvinstrument.

Having thus d elwribed my inyention, ,what AI claim Aas'. new, '1..The standard B, having thev bljoad Bunge 22,/ purpose described.

2. The combination of tbe standard B und t the purpose specified;

3. The smjapcr-gude K, z1.ttm.,h:'n.ble to tbelundfsdq 'nfthemanhcr andufor thopurpose above shown. To the above specification Aof'my in ventiorr I have signed my humllxis rst day of M a'xy, 1867*.
